The announcement of a mid-week eviction shocked all the contestants and loyalties were put to the test on Day 24 of
Bigg Boss 12when Bigg Boss asked the inmates to choose who should leave the house - Karanvir Bohra, Nehha Pendse or Sreesanth. Any guesses who got the most votes?

But before that happened, here's how the jailbreak task ended. Sreesanth fooled Deepak Thakur and ensured that Srishty Rode won the task from the singles' side. This upset Deepak a lot.

This means that tomorrow's captaincy task will be a competition between Srishty and the Khan sisters, Saba and Somi.

Surbhi Rana got into an argument with Shivashish Mishra while Karanvir and Somi also entered into an argument.

Once the yelling had calmed down, Bigg Boss announced mid-week eviction. The housemates had to explain who they think should leave the house - Sreesanth, Nehha or KV. A sobbing Dipika voted against Sreesanth, saying he wanted to leave anyway. This vote is expected to have repercussions tomorrow. Most of the contestants voted against Nehha, but Bigg Boss declared that the final decision will be taken on the basis of audience votes too. Combined with that, the contestant who had to leave was Sreesanth.

It is time for one more contestant - or jodi - to leave the Bigg Boss 12 show tonight, but whom will Salman Khan declare as the evicted contestant?

Here are the live updates from the Bigg Boss 12 house:
